Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of satisfaction with distance learning among medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic as a preventive factor of emotional burnout. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the mental state of medical students, the prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders in them was 22,4%. The study of learning satisfaction was one of the stages of prevention of emotional burnout in medical students. The study has found that good living conditions were an independent factor related to the level of students' satisfaction with distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Socio-domestic characteristics, including stability of Internet communication, quality of Internet communication, device for Internet access, subjective advantage of teaching method (traditional/distant), levels of anxiety and depression (according to The Patient Health Questionnaire-4) and subjective assessment of quality of life were not the factors that significantly affected distance learning satisfaction. Burnout prevention in medical students has consisted of educational and informational components. Thus, the primary prevention of burnout syndrome in healthcare workers should begin while still studying at a medical university, which is especially important in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
